    Also, for the record, our system is absolutely not set up to resolve conflicts in nonviolent ways.

    You need to justify that statement with real-country examples, because unless your definition of “violence” is different than it is for the rest of us, your comment is easily proven false.

      Violence is that act of being violated; it is not necessarily “Mean Person Hit Me!”. Our homelessness and housing problems are all due to acts of economic violence. The courts’ actions against women seeking abortion is absolutely violence. And blacks and Hisapanics can tell you about police violence.

      All of America is violence.
